Like Catherine Zeta Jones quoted in some recent article, "too often we're nicer to strangers than to those we love..." (somewhere along those lines)...

It sends shivers up and down my spine when I think of how short and rude I can be to my brothers when I'm in the grumps and tired...

Or when I moan aloud when I'm not happy about something - it's an indirect and sometimes manipulative way of expression... Never noticed what a negative bitch I could be...

Too often I am like this to my loved ones and yeah, definately nicer to strangers or others I'm not close to... I'm guilt-ridden because there's no one more important and dear to my heart than my family and best friends.

SORRY for all the negativity and I will try my best to be nice and kind from today onwards...

Touching on girl on girl niceness, I was reading another article in the latest Myer mag (Emporium) describing the classic girlfriend-treatment and the effect of change (getting married, having kids, higher paying job, hardship, and poor choices in men etc) in female friendships. Female friendship was described as, "a water-tight pre-nup agreement...with girlfriends, much is intuitive and left unsaid. This can lead to misunderstandings and resentment later, and make us vulnerable to intimidation: who hasn't cowered under the dreaded 'girlfriend-treatment'"?

After that dose of wisdom I was left in awe. Some friendships never fade because the mutual understanding whether unspoken or not stays in balance and the positive energy and feelings of love and gratitude remains just about 99% of the time... and then there are other friendships that constantly feel like you're riding a rollercoaster, full of it's highs and lows as they're so easily shaken and affected by the pressures of life and just the difficulty of being able to be honest and open with one another. Too often, we're too scared to be truly honest because some friends can't differentiate good advice from judgment and their own pride to prove they are still the same when circumstances have changed them or they have in fact grown apart without even knowing...

Girls say we're supportive of each other but there's always that streak of competition and the need to not be the worst off, or the odd one out - unlike guys who don't care where they're at which is what makes their bond with other guys stronger because they don't waste their energy judging and comparing (except perhaps the sizes of their dicks ;P) and expecting this and that from each other.

Gosh, us girls can be bitches can't we?? Or maybe it's just me... again...

Life is cruel...

Hi all... Miss me?? :)

Laugh of the day: "Why do men chase women they have no intention of marrying? Same as dogs who chase cars they have no intention of driving??" -compliments of Carlton.

Cry of the day:
Money pulling a run in my new knitted dress... Perth's shitty weather... Time - not enough of it in a day (especially on my days off)

Highlights of May:
P!nk concert: My like for P!nk has heightened to deep, deep lurve and appreciation! Her show was fantastic - she was 10/10 singing live and she is sooooo cooooool! The mosh pit was a unique experience also, luckily I wore my comfy sneakers! My only disappointment was the stupid band, The Andriods... Any band who repeats the words, "school", "radio", and "cool" is a walking disaster. A horrifying 20 minutes of my life... (But P!nk made up for it!!) Another thing I still can't decide whether it was a positive or a negative (I keep justifying that it was alllllll good since the show was so fantastic/I hadn't been shopping for awhile and the sentimental being in me just could not resist but burst out like all the lil teeny bopper fans did...), was the $150 I spent on two P!nk t-shirts after the show!! The last bummer was the wait out of Challenge Stadium's car park - it was a good 45 minutes to an hour before we got out!!

Had an unsuccessful attempt to purchase some simple black flats for work today. Kat and I headed to King St, Zomp in hope to find me a perfect pair - but absolutely nothing would fit me!!! It was tragic! In desperation I even looked towards a pair or sexy black pumps, but either nothing fit or they were way too dressy for a clerical staff member... *sigh*

Then we proceeded to Emporio and ShuInc and again, NOTHING for size 5ers... NOTHING for lil miss petites... =(

Back at King St, we ate some lunch at Etro (Etra? Can't remember the name of the place). Kathy chose the eggs benedict (they serve breakky until 3pm!!) and I chose a french toast with cinnamin and the optional cream cheese.... And were they fabulously OOOhhLalaaaahh!! Not to mention the cute European waiter with his accent going on!! Kat was like, "He's so hot and he knows it... betcha he's a player!!!" LOL! Must head back there again with my Babe one of these days!

Back down South, I dragged Kat along to exchange one of the three Body Pillows (lamjums) I purchased a couple of days ago... I ended up exchanging for a luxurious and warm and antipill treated faux fur throw in a warm mocha shine colour (to match the choc brown lamjum cover I brought him) - it feels sexy! kekeke ;p

Later at Target, I returned some badly made bras and used that excuse to drag Kat to frantically hunt for ANY size 5s or equivalent shoe in the female section... No such luck, so tried the children's shoes only to find a variety of obvious looking kiddy shoes, real ballet flats curled up in pretty plastic bags and those ugly plastic Croc shoes! OHHH the sheer pain of it all!

Randomly stumbled accross a pretty Stella Macartney dress in a size 8 - the one Crispy Creme has! But then at the counter, I noticed there was a lil hole from the security tag, so didn't end up purchasing it... Ohhh well, didn't need it anyway...

-----------------------------------------

Work was alright - Maz came out to help, Thomas left early and one of the twins did the dumbest thing I've ever seen tonight.... So one of the lil girls broke a glass - she picked up some of the large pieces and rushed back to the bin behind the till area... then I asked her what happened and told her to pick up all the pieces and sweep everything up withthe dust pan.... Two seconds later, I looked up to see her USING THE DUST PAN TO CLEAR THE GLASS OFF THE TABLE!!! Horrified, I ran over to apologise and remove the remaining pieces with two clothes and then replaced a fresh cloth over the area for them...

Firstly, who would use a dust pan, something that is used to clean up the floor, on the table??? In addition to the obvious, the customers were STILL at the table EATING the birthday cake, and there were other customers around.... Should crown her the new 'Ditz of Chins'... *double sigh*

-----------------------------------------

After work Uncle, Babe and I were chit chatting about holidays and their time in Paris... Uncle said Maz walked down the Eifle Tower and continued to say, "If terrorists wanted to bomb that place, anyone could just leave a bag around and plant one there..." (my translation of what he said!) And to that Babe casually replied, "But they might not, maybe they admire the building as well..." AWWWWWWWWWW!! He is such a sweet darling!! What a softie!! ;P

Have been furiously communicating back and forth with the hospital and FINALLY, provided that my medical clearance is okay, I am to start work on this coming Monday at 8am!!!!

I'm semi "YIPEEYOOYIPEEYAAYYY", and semi, "AWWWW, I'm so gonna miss my Babe"... *sniff*

But distance is no doubt always healthy for a relationship, not to mention I will still speed back to help out every night. I can't resist not to, especially since my Babe works so hard!

I'll have to get back into my routine again... which ultimately means, no more late nights. I really must make the most of this weekend then! Jkz, I just want to snuggle up with Babe and spend some quality time with him! It's always so limited and rushed. Most of the time we're too buggered to enjoy anything, we usually just want to ZZzz.

Still, I'm looking forward to something new. I don't want to feel like I'm totally dependant on Babe all the time. Independence is something to be cherished.

Received some other job offers too. One from a shitty-arse recruitment company and another from the better one. I know I should reply them out of courtesy, but to the shitty one, I really can't be farked cos I didn't feel they really wanted to help me - they didn't even pretend to have my best interest at heart. I felt like a ping pong ball in the game of bingo... The job you get is the one that gets drawn to ya... "Number 55 please!!!" (In a neurotic voice...) PFfftt. Bitches.

On a brilliantly positive note, I am going to really LURVE the remainder of this week as a (semi) free girl!!!!

Had a rare but nicely cherished sleepover at Babe's place last night. There were little objections this time round. :) I told Mum we were going Deep Sea Fishing on a Chartered Vessel and most of her questions revolved around that, and what I was going to wear to keep warm etc.... LOL

The sleepover was shortlived as we had to get up at about 6am (we didn't sleep until 130ish 2am). Zhong and Paul met at Babe's place and we departed along with Uncle and Fei Fei at about 630am.
At about 645 to 7am we arrived the boating area and received some bad news. The Captain advised the winds and swell had come in earlier than anticipated so he semi urged us to reschedule.

After some further discussion the news fazed to deter us. Uncle leading the pack, with an motivated "Let's go" and off we went to board our little (smaller than I had expected) vessel!

As our vessel took off its path, we all chatted heartily away. Excitement and a tad of nervousness was in the air. Paul was like, "Ohhh I feel a bit dizzy..." and other hilarious comments.

I was excited and confident as we had all taken anti sea sickness tablets (I took two!). With that in mind, I happily brewed myself a white tea and munched on Cheezels as a substitute for breakky. Babe drank Jim Bean and nibbled on what reminded me of doggie treats.... beef jerky pieces! ROFLZ It was so funny cos I swear MoMo has doggie treats that smell exactly the same!! (hahah betcha you all thought I was gonna say, "tastes" exactly the same eh??!)

Probably about half an hour to 45 min into the ride out, Uncle had disappeared so Babe decided to join him inside for a nap. I, being the clingger that I am, decided to follow him as the wind was getting outrageous and water was splashing in towards us...

Babe jumped outta his seat and ran in, but unfortunately for me, I tripped as the boat rocked suddenly the other way and I fell to my knees!! I laughed there for a moment but upon further contemplation I realised how dangerous it was as I could've fallen out of the boat!

After that incident, we were inside and warm so we relaxed back on the couches and fell asleep. Then I woke up feeling extremely upset. My mouth was dry but then I could feel my last night's dinner coming up soon, so I had to use all my energy to get up and grab a drink... it was so difficult cos the boat was rocking like mad!!!

Anyway, the rest of the fishing trip did not happen for me. I remained on the inside and continued puking my Curry Chicken and then later just yellow stomach juices of nothing much into my plastic bags. Oh, the horror!!

Though that did not only happen to me. Zhong, Fei Fei, Sandy and eventually Sandy's friend from China also felt the velosity of the ocean and ended up chucking up too!! We probably grossed out each other!

I even missed the BBQ, but I could not have possibly eaten anything there after all that purging anyways.

One touching moment was when Uncle came to see how I was. He gave me some ointment and told me to rub some on my nose and temples to make me feel better! AWWWWW! The power of another's kindness... I felt instantly better... on the insides! hehehe ;P

We didn't end up catching much, three fishes to be exact. Pretty poor for the amount we spent to hire the vessel!! ($150 per person) I didn't even touch the rod!! What a waste!!

Still, it was an interesting adventure anyways. Don't think I'll ever join those fishing trips again... better leave it as a "boys" thing!

Just came back from a quick bite with Crispy Creme. As I left Bankwest I heard a little voice...

"Hey what are you doing??"

I turned around to see a little blond boy smiling cheekily at me.

I couldn't resist but to smile back and reply,

"I'm going home now!"

Thinking that would conclude the end of our conversation, he continued...

"Home? What have you got there?" (I was holding a HJ's Coke)

Surprised and overjoyed to hear all this randomness, I replied,

"Yes, I'm going home!!" (And YES, all this while the concept of, "Don't talk to strangers" crossed my mind - but damnnnn he was soooooo adorable!!)

And before I could remind him he shouldn't talk to strangers, his Dad came back from the bank. He smiled at me and said, "Did he talk your ear off???!"

AWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Betcha his Dad uses him to pick up chicks!! LOL!! Jkzz....

"He's soooo cute!" and I waved and drove off.

What a pleasant encounter!

But catching up with Christine and chatting to Mags today was just as lovely. :)

----------------------------------

Hope my application goes through without any problems. Just sent it off today through Express mail. I was more than happy to pay for it! My fault for delaying until today to send it off in the first place! *fingers crossed*

----------------------------------

Brought three body pillows (LamJums) just now. One for Daddy, one for Babe and one for me! I hope they like them!!!

----------------------------------

Babe is the most wonderful bf ever. Funnily enough, I used to always think he was missing something or had a problem. I think my vision of him was incorrect then because I over emphasized negative elements and constantly overlooked all the positives. In hindsight, he has always had a heart of gold. I was always quick to judge his actions as uncaring or nonsupporting simply because he never voiced his opinions or shared his views with me. We can be so very different, but nowadays I have been blessed to see just how great he really is.

For example, customers always steal lollies from those donation boxes (you know, those where you're meant to donate 20c per lolly for the Children's Cancer Foundation etc)... then after work one night, Jimmy grabbed money from the tip jar and filled the donation box... he said, "People don't always pay".... He said it so casually, but the warmth of those words made me all giddy and warm inside because his kindness and compassion overthrew me. :)

Likewise when the little girl fell over and hit her head near the fish tank, it was him who asked me to pass her a lollipop... AWWWW. :D

It has been a whirlwind of months and what a fantastic journey it has been!

Let's see what's new...

Daddy's health is slowly improving. We're all smiles about it! *Go Daddy, GO, GO!!*

Work was down-hill but now on the rise as I'm up and out of Telstra! No more call centre bitch for me!! LOL! I am overall pleased to have had the experience from it, and it has propelled a further understanding of myself, my skills and my interests. SO now I'm going to be working in Sir Charlies!!! Who would've thought??!! I'm still patiently waiting for my letters to go for my medicals and police clearance though... The government is damn slow, but Thomas has confirmed to me that it is normal!! *shrugs*

Work has been steadily interesting, hectic and fun at Chin's. I love working with hunny and his family. I am currently loving his 5th Aunty cos she is the coolest!!... Oh and Thomas can provide some comic slur to the late night conversations about himself too! ;P Can't wait to see babe!!!

I'm trying to learn how to build my wealth... or OUR wealth! It's quite fun, especially when I get to tell babe when and where to put his $$$. LOL!!! Jkzz I can't wait till we go on our lil trip. I'm still dreaming about it now cos it'll take some time for it to become reality!

Finally back to short locks!! Half by choice and half by force... Apparently from Andrew's professional hair analysis, my hair was "super-glued" that's why the extensions wouldn't come off! OHMIGOSHH!!! The horror and the pain!! So I've got boy boy hairs underneath and super fine locks now!! I do kinda miss the super girly look though. ;( Oh well, next time grow my own!!

I'm loving how the boys are slowly getting committed and finding themselves some gfs! Outings are much more fun now, and we always seem to have some fab photo sessions!! Sofia and Dom's birthday was a blast as an example!!! But with the new additions, we've have to bid a sad farewell to Yungi aka Skungi aka WhyJay!!!! Whyjay left us to greener pastures of the east coast - MELBOURNE!!! It was such a sudden decision! He was always such a nomadic boy! hahah jksss We farewelled him with Mr Samurai lunch, bowling session and a hellova rush to the domestic airport!! Jimmy predicts he will be back soon! hauhauhauhuahuauaua

I'm superly loving where I am at physically and emotionally now. I feel a lot of positive energy and I am appreciative of everything around me. I thank those of you who have been supportive and those who had my best interests in their hearts all the while I was struggling and down. I know we don't always see each other much these days cos of our busy lives we endure day by day, but just want to reiterate that I miss you all and wish you all the best! Work hard, play harder. Or just enjoy what ever you want to enjoy!
